Thank you so much for listing those locations, Coyle's house AND where they release "Mr. Pahhtridge" were driving me crazy! Too bad the airstrip (I had been wondering if it was some land on Logan or something because you could see the harbor islands in the background) is gone. That cafeteria is another one that was bugging me. This all took place before I was born but I still like finding out where the stuff was filmed.
RE: Rowe Quarry, it had a lot of land in Reveah, but the official address of the place was in Malden and I believe most of it's land was in Malden as well, just over half or something like that. The northern tip was either very close or almost in Saugus too. -

After doing a little research, it seems the cafeteria at the beginning was on Tremont St. near Boston Common.
This site lists a Hayes Bickford cafeteria as having existed at 185 Tremont St.:

Street view on Google:

^The Masonic Building on the corner is 186 Boylston St. So maybe 185 was the back corner of it or something? If you stood there and turned around you would see the Boylston St. T stop at the corner of the commons (you can turn the street view around) Look at this picture:

I think that's the Boylston T stop but maybe altered since 1972 when this was filmed and the phone booths are gone -

Looking again at that pic from the film, the headhouse has both the Red Line and Green Line stations, that would make it Park Street. So this must have been on Tremont St. but up the hill further, across from where Finagle a Bagel and Burger King are today:

I'll do some more research and see what used to be there if I can find ithaha -

Jonhopefully you have seen the Criterion DVD release, which has the entire film intact, including a Richard Jordan/Mitchell Ryan scene in the HQ office. There are also stills from the movie among the DVD extras, and in these stills you see that another scene set in the HQ, with Jordan, Ryan and Steven Keats, was cut from the final release. Hopefully your father was in the first one.
You just keep throwing your feathers, mister, before I put you in a hospital. -
